Rise Against
Ready to Fall
The Sufferer & the Witness
I took some of this from ver 1, but i modified quite a bit of it and
made it how i think it is played.

UPDATE 9/2/06: i noticed something in the bridge. Its some sort of picking pattern thats

quiet. I tabbed it out. If you can't understand how i explained the end please tell me
i'll just tab it out- i got lazy after typing for 5 hours. =)

UPDATE 10/20/06: I was listening and noticed some octaves in the verse. If you don't

Em, don't play till last 3. Also is pre-chorus, I changed G# to F#, thanks to a suggestion

NASA. Kudos.=)

Verse:

Perpetual motion, the image won't focus,
a blur is all that's seen.
But, here in this moment,like the eye of the storm,
it all came clear to me.
I found a shoulder to lean on,
an infallible reason to live all by itself.
I took one last look from the heights that i once loved,
and then i ran like Hell!
